"What can I do? I'm helpless!" Fang Chen said with his hands spreading out his hands when facing several heads of the family who came to him.

"This..." Several people looked at each other, and Cui Chengwu said unwillingly: "Is there really no way to do it? Head of the Fang family, if there is any way to deal with it, you might as well try it."

He knew that Fang Chen had a lot of heart and not only planned big things, but also had a lot of bad water in his stomach in his tricks.

Fang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I have tried it. I have invited people from Zhu, Wang and Tong. I planned to use the Chamber of Commerce as the basis for common development, but I was rejected." Speaking of this, he laughed at himself and said, "No, it should be said that people look down on me at all. A little kid who is not even a gentry, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to cooperate."

Then, Fang Chen sighed again, "That attempt also pushed me to the forefront. Now the Qi family must have paid attention to me. If you do any small moves, you might have to send a strong man to destroy me."

His words are not an unfair concern. No one likes to disturb the matter, especially the disturbance is still the biggest local tyrant, which is definitely a very unstable factor. Now that Qi Zhilong has just arrived in Fuyu, it is not advisable to make too many moves, so he ignores him. If he is not tactful, it is very likely to erase him to maintain stability.

If he was standing in the Qi family, he would have killed this annoying bug.

Cui Chengwu stopped talking at once, and tried it. Fang Chen also stood on the edge of the cliff. Could it be that he really pushed him down?

For him, Fang Chen must not have any trouble now, otherwise the Cui family will lose their support. Miaojiabao and Tieshan families will cooperate well, but if they rely on them, they will be too far behind Fang Chen.

Miao Dongsheng has too much selfishness, and the Tieshan families are simply branches of the two families in the county town. Once Fang Chen is not there, he will inevitably surrender to the master family. How can the interests of the Cui family be guaranteed at that time?

At this time, Li Zhi suddenly spoke: "Head of the Fang family, I wonder what arrangements do you have for Wanghai when you come back this time? Wanghai is the closest town to the sea and is not too far from the port. If any pirates come, it will easily be exposed. You have to be careful!"

He didn't go with him to go out to sea this time. He knew very clearly about Fuyu and understood that it was basically a foregone conclusion. He came to the door more to look at the sea itself.

The last time Sha Biao's incident made him feel scared. If Fang Chen had not handled it cleanly at the port, the Li family might have been gone.

After that, Fang Chen moved the person back, which made him feel a little relieved.

When Fang Chen returned to Wanghai, he wanted to come to ask in person, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, he watched Fang Chen grow up. He looked down at Fang Chen, and the entire Fang family could control it at will. Now that his identity has changed too quickly, he has become the object he needs to rely on, and he cannot help but feel a little unacceptable.

So, this time I just received the reward from Li Shan, I immediately took the opportunity to come over.

Fang Chen immediately thought of the problem and pondered for a moment: "What Mr. Li said is that as Linhai Town, Wanghai must be prepared. In this way, Wanghai has developed to the extreme, and has formed a shackle on the three of us. It just so happens that the town will be expanded and surrounded by a taller village wall."

"Okay! I just don't know how much it should be expanded?" Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he responded. As Fang Chen said, due to the restrictions of the town, the Li family has already reached its peak. If he had the chance, he would of course be willing to expand the town.

"How about the town three times, and the townspeople gather 2,000 households?" Fang Chen said with a smile.

'hiss!'

Several heads of the family present took a breath. Fang Chen was indeed a big-hearted man, with a population of nearly 10,000. In all the towns in Fuyu, including Sanbao, except for Tieshan Town, which has a large number of miners, none of them have so many people.

Even with the old fox's scheming, hesitated and said: "The head of the Fang family, it's a big deal to make the stall so big at one time..."

Fang Chen laughed and said, "It's not far from the sea. Just wait for the seven companies to buy large ships. If they also buy old ships, it will be faster. At that time, the Fuyu companies will also have great development. Instead of being restricted soon, it's better to get it in one step."

Li Zhi thought something and nodded slightly. The current sea viewing is indeed too restrictive. If he goes to sea, he will need to draw a lot of people. The Li family then only owned three 500-producing ships.

If two thousand households can be collected, the Li family tenants will have to double the number, and more people can be transferred, and more ships can be controlled.

At this time, Fang Chen continued, "Everyone, I will remind you again that the cargo back to the air is a foregone conclusion, so don't worry about this interest. We should pay more attention to the goods brought by the flight, which is our interest. After opening the sea, the existing goods will be rushed to buy, and there are many forces in Fuyu to go out to sea, so it will be difficult to buy much. The county town, the seven families have the convenience and will definitely sweep a large amount of goods. At most, we can only drink some soup."

The heads of the family nodded repeatedly when they heard this. That was the case back then, otherwise why would they have to make that little hard work? The seven families have many masters and a high status in the county town. In addition, some inferior families have joined forces to buy goods, and their forces are almost unable to even thirst for soup.

Fang Chen glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "So, I still say the same thing. If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to build your own workshop and produce your own goods."

The production awareness of this era is really poor, almost all small workshops and scattered handicrafts. There is no such thing as Fuyu, and even the county town has never been heard of.

What causes this problem is that there is no intellectual property protection, and craftsmen have to keep their hands on their apprentices, and they still hope that they can teach ordinary workshop workers? Don’t say that assembly line production is step by step, and it doesn’t exist. No detail step will be easily taught by craftsmen.

Just like the direct martial arts, even if it is the most basic move, no one is willing to teach others at will.

For example, in ancient times, no one was responsible for the smelting of weapons, who was responsible for the smelting of the rough embryo, who was responsible for the refining. From beginning to end, it was done by one person, and at most he would ask his disciples to help him take action. When ordinary people came to some key steps, they would not even show you.

The same is true for the small winery that Fang Chen slaughtered before. He would rather take his own time to make small money than expand the winery to leak the winery. Fang Chen came to the door in person and gave generous conditions, but he was willing to hand over the winery, which forced him to do extraordinary measures.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Cui Chengwu said: "We know this, and we must not hide it from the head of Fang. When the head of Fang mentioned it earlier, we made some preparations, but the craftsman and stable raw materials are a big problem!"

Fang Chen was a little disappointed and said, "Brother Cui, if you are not stupid, why is your brain so stingy? Of course, the raw materials are mainly cheap, and your family has a lot of land, right? The food is so much that it is moldy, right? And you guys, who doesn't have hundreds or thousands of acres of land? Then just build a winery? You have been to Shangjiang, and those large fleets from the north are all rich and the demand for wine in the north is huge. You just need to brew the wine, regardless of whether it is good or bad, and sell it to them."

Yongping, like Wanghai, is a town with no specialties. The main sources of income for the large gentry members in the town are fields, shops and salt fields.

In fact, the entire Fuyu County is similar. Except for the two towns that have hemp seeds, several towns can get mountain medicinal materials on the edge of the mountain, most of which are mainly fields and shops.

"As for the craftsmen..." Fang Chen was about to continue teaching these old feudalists. At this time, Cai An happened to walk in, lowered his head and walked quickly to Fang Chen's ear and whispered a few words.

Fang Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "It's time to come, bring it in!"

"Yes!" Cai An lowered his eyebrows and retreated with pleasure.

Then, Fang Chen stopped talking and looked out the door. Everyone was confused and looked out.

Soon, Cai An walked in with his group. To be precise, several guards came in with a family of four, and the couple plus two seven and eight-year-old children.

As soon as the four of them came in, they knelt on the ground with a "bang", trembling and did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Are you the cobbler Mao Xiaoer?" Fang Chen said lightly.

"Yes, yes, it's a villain." Mao Xiaoer responded tremblingly. He didn't know what the boss Fuyu was trying to see him in person, but he was panicked.

Fang Chen nodded and signaled to the guard: "Please take Mrs. Mao and her children outside for a rest first."

The guard immediately stepped forward, and the couple did not dare to resist. The wife glanced at her husband worriedly and had to retreat with her two children.

After watching them leave, Fang Chen spoke again and said, "I won't go around in circles. Fang intends to build a leather shop. I heard that the Mao craftsman is a famous leather shop craftsman in Fuyu, so he took the liberty to invite him to take the position of workshop manager!"

Mao Xiaoer was a talent found by Yaxing. He was a ancestral fur tanning method and was once famous in Fuyu. He could have lived a good life with his ancestral skills and the leather shop he passed down from his home.

However, he was really not good at managing and later became addicted to gambling, but the shop disappeared and the family became poor.

Mao Xiaoer was targeted when he went to Yashang to find an acquaintance to ask about his work, and the last family of four was sent here.

Fang Chen had issued a talent excavation order internally, and as long as the idle talents he needed, he must be brought to him as soon as possible.

Due to pig farming, he had long been interested in building a pig skin workshop. The cobbler was one of the talents he needed, and Mao Xiaoer was also the first talent to be sent.

"This..." Mao Xiaoer was moved. He was now in poverty and had no meals after eating. Suddenly someone asked him to manage the workshop. It was like a meat cake from heaven. Moreover, he knew that the people who work for the Fang family were not low.

He suddenly raised his head and was about to speak with excitement, but the words stuck again when he spoke. He suddenly woke up and took office as the manager. Wouldn't he want to help Fang's family tanning leather? The ancestral tanning potion may also leak? He hesitated again for a moment.

Fang Chen didn't know what he was hesitating, so he directly offered the conditions and said: "One thousand taels of money to buy your ancestral tanning prescription, the monthly salary of the workshop manager is the example of the hall master, and the child learns literature and martial arts for free."

Mao Xiaoer swallowed his saliva, and the conditions were not too high. Five hundred taels were not too much. If he had earned it in the past two years, the monthly salary was different according to the example of the master. Although he did not know the example of the master, the Fang family's treatment was always quite good. As the master, it would have to be higher, and it would have a long-term income. In the end, the child could learn literature and martial arts. This is the future of future generations and is even more valuable to him.

He was already very moved and almost agreed, but after hesitating for a moment, he still asked carefully: "Then, what if I refuse, what if I refuse?"
